The website is a wealth of information for caring for black / multiracial hair and she also has a very busy Facebook page where people are always asking questions. <br /><br />Another resource I would mention is the website mydevacurl.com where you can find a stylist in your area who has been through the training on how to cut curly hair. Their &quot;Curly Girl Handbook&quot; (which you can order from the site, I think) was a huge help to me. <br /><br />Great post!

A...This is awesome advice for curly girls! <br />I&#39;m<br />A hairstylist in Vancouver Canada, worst place for curly people with all the moisture. We use bumble and bumble products in our salon and I would suggest to anyone with curls to try them at least once! Ive even got my male friends with curls to use them and they love it. There is a whole line dedicated to all kinds of curls, the shampoo and conditioner is awesome. And the curl creme is to die for I use it in my 3 year old sons hair. Also for restyling or midday touch ups they have a reactivating most specifically for curls. It&#39;s even good if you curl your hair with a hot tool and want to bring it back to life. These products have some of the same ingredients as curling mascara, bringing out the &quot;boing&quot; in your hair!!!! I never truly believed in this product till I started using it on my son and people started asking if he&#39;d had a haircut when he hadnt. Try it out!!ichiko3211http://ichikonagai.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-81192339477009147222012-06-28T12:31:18.603-07:002012-06-28T12:31:18.603-07:00Just want to reiterate how glad I am you posted th...Just want to reiterate how glad I am you posted this.<br />Just three days of no brush, using an old tshirt to dry my hair, and doing the upside down scrunch and my hair is so curly!<br />I just need to find the right product to use to cut down on the frizz now. <br />Thanks again Rachel!elbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02506818260376408816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-58077572564487208802012-06-27T12:29:12.533-07:002012-06-27T12:29:12.533-07:00Going silicone and sulfate free is the absolute be...Going silicone and sulfate free is the absolute best thing you can do for curly hair, in my experience.<br /><br />My curly hair is very thin, but I have a ton of it. It was also beyond frizzy. Like.. fuzzy. I switched to sulfate &amp; silicone free products a few years ago and it totally changed the texture of my hair and how often I have to wash it. It&#39;s also now much easier to blow dry straight and is incredibly smooth and healthy when I do so.stefhttp://www.milk-shed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-55224282444615432242012-06-25T20:15:00.957-07:002012-06-25T20:15:00.957-07:00@Elb-- If my hair is long enough I usually pull it...@Elb-- If my hair is long enough I usually pull it back with a rubber band, or if it is short like it is now, I just pin it up with LOTS of bobby pins. It seems to stay pretty secure when I go running, etc. because I have pretty thin hair. I also love to style it that way too. :)Rachel Woolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09785122003805170374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-46266443598498939462012-06-25T12:50:38.713-07:002012-06-25T12:50:38.713-07:00Thanks for this post.

I&#39;ve been trying to embrace my curls more over the past few years -- but the front of my hair is almost stick straight while the back and underneath is tight curls. I&#39;m going to try to go for the no brushing a bit more often, but with such thick hair it is difficult. No sulfate shampoo/conditioner has helped A LOT, as do frequent trims.<br />My one question is how do you deal with pulling it back or getting it out of your face when working out/etc.?<br />Thanks again. I&#39;m glad to hear I don&#39;t have to go shampoo-less. I do too much physical activity to be okay with that.elbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02506818260376408816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-49387270866033446162012-06-25T11:14:20.869-07:002012-06-25T11:14:20.869-07:00I&#39;m 1/2 of a Rachel / Rebecca sibset, too!

It gets way too tangled and knotted, just from sleeping overnight. So yes to a lot of your advice, but I totally can&#39;t live without brushing my hair. =)Jenny Rae Rappaporthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263705260859210435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-11972356042541133022012-06-22T15:10:57.833-07:002012-06-22T15:10:57.833-07:00For everyone worrying about tangles from sleeping,...For everyone worrying about tangles from sleeping, gather your hair (or your child&#39;s hair) on top of your head in a loose ponytail or bun. Best to use a fabric covered hair tie. So you can rock a scrunchie to bed! Could also try a satin pillow case even for a little kid... Cuts down on frizz. I use an old t shirt to dry. I love deva products. I spent my formative years hating my hair but now I love my daughters curls.

@Kathryn, @Cave Momma...@Ashley thanks for the tip! <br />@Kathryn, @Cave Momma, @tigerleo, @Jeannine and everyone talking about how to deal with tangles: I make shower time the time to detangle, which means LOTS of conditioner. You could also brush in the shower....just never brush after. <br /><br />@dgm Pureology isn&#39;t just for colored hair. It works for both! <br /><br />@Home Sweet Sarah my friends in college used to do that to me! They would pull the curliest corkscrews. Can&#39;t wait for my nieces to do the same! :) <br /><br />@Cynthia, my stylist is Dominican! Bumble and Bumble is also great!Rachel Woolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09785122003805170374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-74929772259608114582012-06-22T11:19:47.319-07:002012-06-22T11:19:47.319-07:00I have serious, serious, curl envy!

I feel like there is a point in every curly haired girls life where she embraces the curls and stops blow drying/straightening/forcing her hair straight every day. I&#39;m not at that point yet, but I&#39;m trying! My sister, who has the same insanely thick, curly, frizzy hair I do, told me she just got rid of her hair straightener and I am jealous! <br />I have found that in order to get the tangles out, only brushing it BEFORE getting in the shower helps. That way it only gets that poofy afro-mess (that happens when you brush it) right before I wash it, and washing it (wetting it in general) recurls the hair! It remains nice and tangle free by song miracle when I&#39;m done in the shower.

One thing I&#39;ve learned about choosing a hair dresser - Dominican salons often have lots of experience and good technique with curly hair. Also, I don&#39;t re-wash in the morning either so I recently started using Bumble and Bumble&#39;s curl reactivating cream. It works better than just spraying water on my hair for me because water sometimes makes my hair frizz.Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06709820282939601460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-64970754304318873062012-06-22T10:19:27.351-07:002012-06-22T10:19:27.351-07:00Thanks for this!
